Yes, you can technically light a gas oven manually using a long match or a grill lighter during a power outage or if the electronic igniter fails, but it requires extreme caution and strict adherence to safety protocols. To do this safely, turn on the oven dial to your desired baking temperature while holding the lit flame directly next to the burner ports inside the bottom floor of the cavity until the gas catches. You can troubleshoot manual lighting safely. You can verify that your corrective action is successful when the gas ignites immediately across the burner tube, but you should never leave a malfunctioning automatic ignition system unaddressed for long-term daily use due to carbon monoxide risks.
